Talk:Eén

RFD discussion: May 2022–June 2023
Dutch. Unless it has a different meaning or grammatical use from the uncapitalized version, we don't have separate entries for capitalized versions of words. I suppose the point is to show that when gets capitalized the first é loses its diacritic mark, but still it seems unnecessary. —Mahāgaja · talk 20:26, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

 * What will happen after deletion when a user searches for "eén"? --Lambiam 06:41, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * What happens when someone searches for a long s, a capital, a Cyrillic letter instead of a Latin one? People should know the basic orthographic rules of the language they are looking up, otherwise we need to include also Eérder (éérder), Eérst (éérst) etc., and all those lower-case forms as well, because people might think there's a distinction between a letter with or without an acute in Dutch.

 * I don’t think there is a lexical distinction between éérder and eerder, but there appears to be a disambiguating, lexically significant distinction between een (indefinite article or numeral) and één (just numeral). --Lambiam 06:45, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Hereinafter is a rationale which seems to favor retaining the Dutch language entry for "Eén", instead of deleting it.
 * "Eén" also possesses a commonly recognized usage as a proper noun -- it is the brand name for a television station.
 * Which in turn is administered by VRT, the national public-service broadcaster for the Flemish Community of Belgium.
 * (This usage as a proper noun is not yet explicitly stated within that entry).

 * However, on the other hand...
 * I possess zero fluency with the Dutch language, and am not at all familiar with the rules and procedures for Wiktionary's edits.
 * Therefore this vote of mine rightly deserves no more credibility than the smallest degree, if any. -- North Alabama 000 (talk) 05:46, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * We don’t include company names, and I’m quite sure their existence is irrelevant here anyway. Should we include mötor because a band uses it? MuDavid 栘𩿠 (talk) 07:44, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. The typographical tradition can be covered at één if necessary. Anyone searching specifically for eén will see één as a search result so long as a sentence using the capital form of the word remains as a use-example. — Soap — 10:06, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
